Colchicum cupani

Description

A dwarf species, but strong enough to be grown in a choice spot outside.

Up to 11 rose-pink flowers per bulb, each with a tiny white star in the throat and contrasting black anthers with the narrow, glossy leaves in October. This stock has attractive arching to almost prostrate foliage spreading around the flowers.

Ours is a particularly good robust form originally found in Southern Greece.
